PEACE KAISER
WANTS TOLD IN
GERMAN BOOK
■Y MILTON BBONNKR.
Washington. Aug. 22. —Now
that pro-German influences thru-
out the world are busy flying
peace-kites in the Interests of
Germany and against the cause
of the allies, officials of the
state department here are pay-
ing increasing attention to a
book entitled, “Imperial Ger-
atony," written by Prince Bern-
hard von Buelow, who preceded
Bethmann-Hollweg as chancellor
and who guided the policies of
the German empire when it em-
barked upon Its program of hav-
ing a big navy and having a
say in the politics of the whole
world.
Von Buelow has largely re-
vevtsed the book since the war
started, and as at present is-
sued, It represents his mature
views after his country had been
at war for two years.
Von Buelow belongs. of
eourse, to the ruling caste In
Germany, and knows what it
seeks. The revised boqk shows
that Germany's rulers have not
abated one Jot in their worship
of militarism. Here is a blVds-
aye view of the ttuelow book.
Militarism.
“The voice of our national
conscience tells us what German
militarism really is: the best
thing we have achieved in the
course of our national develop-
ment.
“The German nation can as-
sert before the whole world that
Its greatest strength, which has
stood the test of the past and
tne present, is to be found in
that which in the hour of di-
rect need and danger saved the
life of Germany, German mili-
tarism.
“Even if we had not been
threatened with war during the
last decades, we must realize
that there is no such thing as
permanent peace, and must re-

member Moltke's words: 'Per-
manent peace is a dream, and
not even a beautiful one. But
war is an essential element of
God's scheme of the world.' ’’
.oS’SCSilM
the main object of the war must
be to obtain for Germany not
only adequate compensations,
but also guarantees which pre-
vent any future war under the
same, or similar, unfavorable
conditions.
“Germany must realise today
that unless quite new and Im-
probable situations are created
by this war, the feeling of hitter
resentment engendered in
France, England and Russia
will persist after peace has been
made.
Germany will in future re-
quire protection against hostility
and desire for revenge In the
west, the east beyond the chan-
nel; such protection can only
be found In the Increase of her
own power. Only if our power,
political, economic and military,
emerges from this War so
strengthened that it consider-
ably outweighs the feelings of
enmity that have been aroused,
shall we be able to assert with
a clear conscience that our po-
sition in the world bss been bet-
tered by the war.”
Russia.
“Of course we cannot desire
that Russia should regain her
strength. Whether the loss of
parts of Poland would weaken
Russia is questionable.’’
France.
“It always seemed to me a
weakness to entertain the hope
of a real and sincere reconcilia-
tion with France so long as we
had no intention of giving up
Alsace-Lorraine. And, of courses,
there was not and is not any
such intention.
“Perhaps in time France will
grow reconciled, especially if we
succeed in further improving
our strategic position with re-
gard to France, a position which
at present is still unfavorable.”
Belgium and England.
“The English ministers must
not be surprised if, in consid-
eration of our unfavorable
coastal circumstances, we de-
mand serious and solid guar-
antees to ensure our safety and
Independence with regard to
England.”
WOMAN DEPUTY GAINS
FAME HANDLING INSANE
Special to The ffeice.
Los Augeles, Cal.. Ang. 22.—
Nettie Yaw of Los Angeles coun-
ty, bears the distinction of beln^
the only woman deputy sheriff
in California and one of the
few in the U. S.
As a handler of violently in-
sane persons Deputy Yaw has
rendered signal service.
As a server of subpoenas
Mrs. Yaw has no equal. She
has succeeded in rendering ser-
vice when every man in the de-
partment has failed.
Arresting unfortunate victims
of insanity, is, of course, her
most dangerous duty. One never
knows when the crazy person
will become violent, nor to what
extent be will go.
So remarkable has Deputy
Sheriff Yaw’s success been in
handling insane persons that it
has attracted wide attention
among medical staffs.
EXPERTS GIVE
REMEDIES FOR
MEAT FAMINE

ident of Wilson and Company,

“Boost vegetables” — A. J...
Frank, secretary of the Chicago
Retail Grocers Association.
Above are some of the solu-
tions suggested to the United

“meat famine” which Herbert
Hoover predicted.
“Educate the farmer to know
there is more financial firofit,
In breeding ewes and calves,
and prevent the killing of them
for a year and the situation
vlll be remedied,” said Skip-
worth.
Concentrated Farming.
"We have to depend on con-
centrated farming and until the
farmer can be educated into
knowing he can get as much
for corn put into the cattle as
he can by placing com on the
market, the shortage will con-
tinue. More breeding is the
only answer.’’
“Women are knitting and do-
ing a whole lot of good but

the seriousness of the war,"
said Mrs. Harrison. "If they
would eat less meat and not
buy so much of it, the soldiers
would be at least assured of
enough."
Once a Week.
Mrs. Harrison suggested that
girl stenographers and clerks
and men employed in light
physical occupations, eat meat
but once a week.
As a substitute for meat, Mrs.
Harrison suggests beans, macar-

Ottawa, Canada, Aug. 22 —
Canada Is facing ita first crisis
since the opening of the Euro-
pean war.
A general election is to be
called by Premier Berden for
early in the fall. The life of
the present conservative govern-
ment expires Oct. 7. This will
be the first opportunity the
people of Canada have had to
pass on the war policies of the
Berden government since the
Dominion plunged into the con-
flict.
The government has been
split wide open on the Issue of
conscription. British Canada,
generally speaking, supports con-
scription. French Canada Is
almost solidly o*r"««<l- Th0
bitterest political campaign in
Dominion history Is In prospect.
Upon the result depends the
continuance In power of the
present conservative government
and the enforcement of the com-
pulsory military service act.
Leading the liberal opposi-
tion is Sir Wilfrid Laurler, ex-
premier and the idol of the
French-Canadians of the Pro-
vince of Quebec.
Canada has 406.000 enlisted
men. Her over seas force is
made up of five divisions. Foul
of these are in France and ons
is held In England as a reserve
division Since the desperate,
bloody day at Viny ridge, heavy
drafts have been made on this
reserve. Canada must provide
more men or soon Dominion
troops will be left without re-
serves. This would mean elimi-
nation as a fighting factor at
the front. Cauada must raise
100,000 more men and do it
quick.
Voluntary recruiting is a
thing of the past. Canada ha»
no great wealth of man power
Eight million people Is her top.
Already the 400,000 men who so
freely gave themselves to ser-
vice have seriously tightened
the labor market In places.
